Some seniors at a Maryland high school thought it would be amusing to release 72,000 ladybugs in the school for a senior prank. Not surprisingly, school officials did not enjoy the beetles infesting the high school. Four seniors even faced charges for the pranks and one of the seniors was not allowed to walk at graduation. It would take a lot of pest control products to get rid of that amount of beetles infesting a building!
